What irritates me about OotP is that Harry could've whipped out that magic mirror if he wanted to contact Sirius. But ... he didn't think of that. THat's what bugs me in what otherwise would've been my fave book.

Plus it would've been much easier for him to get into contact with sirius using the mirror rather than using the fire in Umbridge's office. Then again when you panic you don't always think of the best solution.

I think in life, there will always be moments when you think "Oh, I should (not) have done this and that." It's just realistic. We all have decisions we come to regret later, most especially displayed with Voldy.

Yeah, I know ... just disappointing sometimes. But I shouldn't blame him. He felt guilty enough.

I wonder if Jo Rowling is planning on releasing a book anytime soon...any news tidbits to share?

Isn't the Harry Potter series complete already? 0.o

Oh well. I don't like the last book that much since my fave characters didn't have much of a mention there. Plus, there's too much tears in the last few chappies.

Yes it's complete. But she's writing again (not HP stuff). What can we say, she's a born writer! XD

Aww... I really wanna be like her! She's like my favorite celebrity in the world (I hope she can read this!!!)!

So, off-topic, Rowling's writing another book!?! Sweet.

Rowling did release The tales of beedle the bard which is a collection of fairytales set in HP world. Saw it in borders/barnes nobles a few weeks back.

I read that. It's pretty neat. I liked the little stories. And you get commentary from Dumbledore.

Yeah, but non-HP related? I read one thing that she's considering a detective novel? Oooooh (mind exploring intriguing possibilities there)

A detective novel? That'll be interesting. I wish she post something about it on her website. Maybe she has, I don't know. I haven't checked it in a long time.

Whoever said there were too many tears at the end of the seventh book just made the understatement of the century!

i loved the last book. Tears, except for fred(or was it george) not really

Seraphina- Noone thinks right in a crisis.

Fred died. George was mutilated in the ear.

Aisling!

You reminded me of that surprise....

Fred and George were great characters....

Yeah they were. Let's remember them as such. U-No-Poo ftw XD

The 7 book was awesome. I didn't continue reading the book last few years ago because that part of Harry, Ron & Hermione "camping" chapters bored the heck outta me. Many of my favourite characters died but... I didn't cry. I only cried at OotP, of Sirius's death. >.>

Sirius's death was so tragic. I was surprised when he suddenly died

*well yes, I didn't even know how he died at first coz I always start reading the last few chapters of every book I get out of habit XP*

Rowling *killed Lupin and Tonks of in exchange of Arthur's life* made me sad a bit. Still, at least Lupin had a son didn't he?

Didn't anyone ever think of slipping any U No Poo to You Know Who?

Could've alleviated some stress ..

@sera: wouldn't "U No Poo" just leave ole voldy constipated? That would mean an even grumpier voldy O_o;;;
